But given Ben's next post about Aaron's complaint about obese (over-long) dogmatics,isn't it a relief that Hauerwas's commentary isn't the length of Allison & Davies ICC set (2,300+ pages) or Nolland's one volume at 1480 pages?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-63745998043687079852007-01-26T09:14:00.000-05:002007-01-26T09:14:00.000-05:00Odd, earlier today I read the Hauerwas passage tha...Odd, earlier today I read the Hauerwas passage that Jim Gordon quoted here. It is (perhaps?) not <i>too</i> surprising that Hauerwas ends up sounding a bit like Calvin in this passage, since he certainly sounds like Barth. Perhaps it is Barth that Hauerwas and Calvin have in common!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-45319314652503417612007-01-26T04:14:00.000-05:002007-01-26T04:14:00.000-05:00Yeah, Calvin was big for it too, as a critique of ...Yeah, Calvin was big for it too, as a critique of the speculations of the schoolmen. He keeps this theme going in Book 1 of the Institutes.

"Theologians are often tempted to say more than can be said. The mystery of God frustrates us, enticing us to explain what cannot be explained...the reticence of the gospels frustrates us, we want them to say more than they can say..." What Hauerwas calls reticence, and newman calls proper reserve, Bavinck commends as theological humility. I'm all for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-21110551205692026332007-01-26T00:17:00.000-05:002007-01-26T00:17:00.000-05:00great quote!great quote!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-80724471539138048932007-01-25T19:49:00.000-05:002007-01-25T19:49:00.000-05:00That's a great Bavinck quote-thanksThat's a great Bavinck quote-thanksBrandon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213664210209734434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-71321597796475341662007-01-25T18:14:00.000-05:002007-01-25T18:14:00.000-05:00How lovely!
